abstract
Historically, the traditional Mexican dances of Ballet Folklorico are viewed as a performing event, something to be witnessed in the moment of time in which the event occurs. There are very few scholarly studies that look at Mexican Ballet Folklorico as a regional cultural phenomenon in a specific social context. This research investigates the origins of Mexican Ballet Folklorico, and the variety of dance techniques and styles that are influenced by regional flair. Data for this study of Mexican Ballet Folklorico will be gathered by utilizeing literature reviews, interviews with Ballet Folklorico dancers, attendance at Folklorico dance performances, and participation in Folklorico workshops. I argue that Mexican Ballet Folklorico is traditional and stagnant in its form of cultural arts expression. Ballet Folklorico reinforces historical narration, establishes cultural exchange among communities, and constructs ethnic identity through culture, song, music, and language. It is of paramount importance to add new knowledge as the growing interest of Mexican Ballet Folklorico expands and travels throughout the Americas. note
